Primitivo grapes ripen very early, which explains their name. Interestingly, just 20 days after the harvest, Primitivo vines produce new grapes, traditionally called 'second harvest' these younger bunches are used by the winemaker to increase the freshness and acidity of these bold wines, giving a wonderful balance to the rich berry fruit and spice character.
Aged for 3-months in American oak barrels and 6-months in steel.
Pairing: goes great with well-seasoned main courses based on red sauces, meat and roast; aged cheeses with intense flavours, forest mushrooms and game.
